Subject: Part payment of PF final settlements – Reg.

Madam //Sir,

Instances of rejecting the final Provident Fund settlement claims citing various reasons of short/non-remittance of contributions by employers for certain periods or non-transfer of previous PF account/past accumulations etc. have been noticed. In this regard the provisions of para 10.11 of the Manual of Accounting Procedure Part-IIA categorically allows processing of such claims for part payment of the available accumulations in the account of the member. Needless to say, on receipt of the full contributions or the transfer-in amounts, further action should be taken to pay the balance to the members expeditiously.

Accordingly, all offices are hereby advised not to reject such claims but to ensure processing such claims for part payments as per the above provisions to avoid any financial distress to the members/claimants.

[This issues with the approval of the CPFC]
